Landfill recycling: A temporary fix

Taking Green River’s curbside recycling to the Rock Springs Landfill is only a temporary solution according to Michelle Foote, Rocks Springs site manager for Wyoming Waste Systems.

Foote said the major problem the company faces is a lack of sorting space. The company used the city’s transfer station to sort the recycling it collected, but has been unable to use the building since a fire occurred September 2018. Foote said they thought they would only be out of the building for a few months, but the transfer station’s closure has lasted longer than anticipated.
